I havent lost in 2 or 3 weeks!



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out and I was losing well at first and now I am at a stand still... I had a fill last week and I feel no different and my weightloss still is stalled... I believe I am eating right and I am going to the gym for 2 hours 5 times a week.... :-( Is this bandster hell and will my weight loss start going again?

Often, it takes several fills to reach restriction. Chances are this fill is not going to affect you. I would make another fill appointment as soon as your Dr allows. This is indeed bandster hell, but you are nearing the end of it!!!:whoo:

Thanks for the reply.

I have a fill already scheduled for Nov 23rd... That was the soonest they could get me in... (not too far away) I was just hoping to continue losing...

I found that I lost week 1-3 post op and then stalled. Week 6 I got a fill and started loosing again. I think it also depends upon the size of your fill too. I had 1cc put in a 4cc band and am definately restricted.

Weird. I am 7 weeks out, Got a 1CC fill in the AP standard (not sure the size I am assuming 10cc since it already had 3cc) Maybe it takes a couple weeks for some to feel the fill?

Wow, you sound just like me, I was banded 8/29/07 and lost 15 lbs the first 2 weeks(of course only having liquids will do that to you) then nothing. so I went for a fill of 1cc in my 3.5 cc band 1 month post op, then lost another 5 lbs. Then..... NOTHING!!!!!!! I am so frustrated, I exercise 90 minutes daily for 5 days out of the week, and watch what I eat. So I will have another fill in 2 days, I hope it works. I know I am doing OK.... but I want to do better. Wish me Luck, and good luck to you all too. Aloha

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
